How Much Is 16.02 Tablespoons of All-Purpose Flour in Ounces?
16.02 tablespoons of all-purpose flour weighs 4.42 oz. This is based on all-purpose flour having a density of 125.16g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 16.02 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 16.02 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour = 7.82g
- 16.02 × 7.82 = 125.32g
- Convert grams to ounces: 125.32 ÷ 28.3495 = 4.42 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Different flour types have very different weights per cup. Always check the specific flour your recipe calls for rather than using a generic "flour" conversion.
